Free Movie Tickets and Gift Cards from Discover

July 17th, 2008 · No Comments

Discover in conjunction with Fandango has a buy one get one free movie ticket promotion running through August 31, 2008.  They also have a promotion where you receive a $10 gift card for every $100 you spend at participating malls.  There isn’t a participating mall near me or I’d take advantage of this offer.  Reading this thread it appears people have made out very well with this promotion in the past. Add that to the current 5% cash back on gas purchases and my Discover card is really paying off for me this year.

Enter the FNBO Direct Pay Yourself First Challenge

July 15th, 2008 · 1 Comment

I posted about the FNBO Direct Pay Yourself First Challenge  last month but apparently not too many people were interested.  The contest ends at the end of this month and when I last checked there were only about 30 entries.  The first 500 entrants get a $10 Amazon.com gift card.  In addition, the top 20 submissions get a $500 cash prize, and the top 5 get up to $25,000 in matched savings.  If you enter now you would at least receive the $10 Amazon.com gift card would have a great chance at winning $500.

All you have to do to enter is create a one-minute video telling what you’re saving for.  Then upload it to FNBO Direct’s YouTube channel so that others can view it and rate it.  I need to borrow somebody’s video camera so I can enter.  Get more details about the FNBO Direct Pay Yourself First Challenge.

Wachovia $25 Referral Bonus

July 8th, 2008 · No Comments

I’ve already posted about Wachovia’s Way2Save program which will pay you a 5% bonus on money you invest this year.  I also mentioned that they have a $25 referral bonus program.  If you’re interested in opening a Wachovia account contact me via the contact link at the top of the page and I’ll mail  you a referral coupon.  Since this will cost me money to mail please only request one if you’re serious about opening an account.  Also if you have already opened an account that I referred you to please let me know so I can be sure that I was properly credited for it.  Thanks.
